Types Of Preventative Care Offered By Primary Care
Visiting a primary care provider allows you to access the resources needed to live a healthier and happier life. Preventative care is one of the more important aspects of primary care, and this can consist of many different disease prevention methods.
For example, your primary care provider may find that you are pre-diabetic. To combat this, they will give you meal plans that will allow you to live a healthier life and prevent the progression of diabetes. In addition to giving you meal plans, providers can also give you exercise regimens, prescribe medication to help you stop smoking, and vaccinate you against diseases.
What Conditions Can Primary Care Providers Help Manage?
People with chronic conditions still need to see primary care providers in order to keep a check on their overall health. Although these providers are not specialists in their condition, they can help manage the symptoms and progression of the disease or condition.
Primary care providers can help those with a range of health conditions, including:
- Pain Management
- COPD
- Asthma
- Thyroid Issues
- High cholesterol
- Diabetes
- Acid Reflux/GERD
- High blood pressure
- Etc.
Additionally, your PCP can refer you to specialists for conditions and coordinate their care plans accordingly to ensure you receive the best all-around care.

Urgent Care vs. Primary Care vs. Emergency Room
If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, please immediately call 9-1-1 or go to an emergency room.
Primary care is designed to help you stay up-to-date on your health, offers annual screenings, and can help manage many chronic conditions.
Urgent care is designed for when you need care for illness or injury that requires quick care, but is not life-threatening.
